If My House is Messy…

( I am posting this from the archives..just because sometimes I need to remember this too 🙂I composed this post this morning as I was frantically cleaning my house, and realizing sometimes a mess speaks volumes…

My house has been a wreck, yet it has been such a busy few weeks, some things just don’t seem that important anymore…

If My House is Messy…

If my bed is unmade…It’s because of the little ones sleeping with me at night, comforting each other ,while daddy was away…sleeping in, cuddling close…

If there’s toys scattered about…it’s because children are playing, exploring, and just being kids…enjoying their toys…

If my furniture is dusty…it’s because I just didn’t have time to dust…I was too busy building a fort, playing in the yard, and coloring with my 2 year old…

If my floors are sticky…it’s because we enjoyed lots of treats together…had company in and out…letting my home be a place of comfort and hospitality…

If my stove is messy, and there’s still crumbs on the counter…it’s because my kids were busy cooking up their own recipes in the kitchen, and we have an abundance of ingredients…how grateful am I, not to be looking at an empty pantry…

If my house is messy…yes, it’s because we LIVE in our home…LOVE in our home….and those are the things that matter most…Sometimes we just need to change our perspective, and not focus on the mess…but how the mess was made…

2 hours agoby simplylivingforhimThe world will tell you are number one and you are enough. But without Jesus, you are nothing. Jesus is enough. The theme of our retreat this year is Jesus is Enough. In a world of excess, He is all we need. In a world that tells us we need more and more to be happy, He is our everything. Our contentment is in Christ. Our identity is in Him. So the more we know Him, the more we will truly find our rest and peace. Join us in #Gettysburg this summer for our amazing SLFH Retreat. These events are…

3 days agoby simplylivingforhimIt's Friday! New Podcast Episode is here! "In a media-saturated culture, it is very easy to focus on making a house that looks picture-perfect. The amount of time and energy spent on making things “look” perfect is astounding. Yet none of those things will go with us into eternity. We need to be investing our time, focus, and energy on what goes on inside those four walls of that house and building our family first. Relationships matter into eternity and material possessions will perish. I would rather people come to my house and not remember the decor, but remember that…
